Hello everyone, I am new to both the forum and the Kymco world. I recently decided to get a scooter and bought a 2008 People 50 2 stroke. Or it could be a 2005. The engine has been replaced with a 70 cc and the bike has been sitting for a long time.
I got it home and replaced the battery, changed the oil, cleaned the carburetor and replaced one fuel line. With a little bit of effort it started up. Then, died. I checked the spark plug and it was not sparking, neither did the new one I replaced it with.
I then started to look at the CDI, which appears fine but I do not know how to see if is having issues. I just got a new ignition coil in and replaced that. The spark plug now sparks. First try it started up strong. It ran on idle for about 30 seconds and died. Now, it won’t restart at all. I took apart all the wiring components and cleaned them but that assisted in nothing helpful. Battery turns on the electronics. When the ignition is turned the starter works. Does anyone have any idea what I am missing? Any help is appreciated
